It is important to mention that CHINA has high stakes in the issue, if CHINA decides to completely close its Border for the route, then all indian plans of illegal annexation would be failed miserably.

CHINA has done it previously and CHINA is more capable to done repeat this humiliation in an efficient manner once again.
